THE WORLD AS AN INTERFACE
When I was 7, I realize I was born in the wrong time. Mind you, I was only 7 years of age, and I knew this perfectly
well. I didn't understand why I was suddenly put upon the Earth when the age of technology was yet so PRIMATIVE. I just
knew that if I had been born a century or two later, my life would be so much easier. That sentiment still rings true today.
Technology is advancing at almost and exponential speed, but it's still not fast enough! By the time it advances to the point
where I'm satisfied, I'll be 96 and too senile to remember how to turn on a computer.
I used to want to be a witch, too. That's a side story, but I'm going to get into it anyway. I thought witches were
cool because they had all these sorts of powers, and I especially wanted to be one when I found out that not all witches had
to be green, ugly, and possess warts on their noses. The point is, I wanted a lot of things in the past that are completely
relavant to now. And plus, witches had a habit of living for a really long time.
Like if my consciousness were to become digital and I lived in the internet. I also wanted to have my brain downloaded
into the world wide web not too long ago. This was also cool because I could live on forever in digital world and have a
vast world of knowledge at my fingertips--well, I wouldn't have fingers at that time, but that was a literary expression.
(I think. I don't know if I used the world "literary" correctly. But my point is, if I was downloaded into a
digital medium, FINALLY, my experience of technology would be satisfactory enough beeause I wouldn't be just surrounded in
it, but I WOULD be it. And isn't that what ever little girl wants to be when she grows up?

EARS
Sometimes when I have water in my ears and it refuses to come out of my ear canals, I am able to hear inside my brain.
I can hear the water hitting the back of my head. It makes me feel the water more. Smell it more. I can hear my thoughts,
loud and clear. Ears are useful.
The baby fetus thing and the pressure points are cool. It only proves that ancient Chinese ideals are right. No wonder
everyone is turning to alternative medicine. By the way, that term "alternative" is another thing. I hope you
realize that it's only being called "alternative" because it's "different" to what WE, the mainstream
society calls as a "norm." I'm Chinese, and as far as I'm concerned, these practices are medicinal practices.
They've never been "alternative" to me. That's just my piece.
"The Great Northeastern Power Failer"
Artists and engineers go hand and hand. Sisneros was an employer of such. It's sort of obvious, isn't it?
